By acquiring a technology from this project, AK is now able to manufacture the products - 1xxx ~ 7xxx alloys (e.g. AA1060, AA2014, AA2024, AA2219, AA2618, AA3003, AA4007, AA5083, AA5052, AA6061, AA6063, AA6082, AA7075, AA7050, AA7001, AA7021 etc.) for 5”, 6”, 7”, 8”, 10”, 13”, 15”, 26”, 32” and 41.7” billets and 520mm x 1,620 and 700mm x 2,400mm slabs for automotive, industrial, aerospace and defense applications. In AK's cast house, there are two Melting Furnaces (30Ton and 40Ton), a Cast Line by using a Liquid Aluminum Refining System with three graphite rotors that removes physical, chemical, metallurgical inclusions/impurities to produce aerospace grade billets and slabs, two 50Ton Homogenizing Furnaces, five Band saws for billets and slabs, Lathes, a Milling Machine, a Sanding Machine, a Leveler, a Stress Relieving System, a 5Ton Vertical Solution Heat treatment Furnace and also has different types of testers. The annual production capacity of this cast house is 50,000Ton. AK owns five extruders - 5" 2200Ton (Direct Type), 13" 4300Ton (Direct Type), 8" 2600Ton (Direct Type), 8" 2600Ton (Double Action Type) and 7" 2300Ton (Direct Type) - in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd factories, and can manufacture 1xxx ~ 7xxx extruded products for round bars, square bars, flat bars, hexa bars, tubes and profiles as per customers' request such as Alscan and PoDFA to control and inspect the inclusions and hydrogen gas. In AK's extrusion facilities, there are two solution heat treatment furnaces, four aging furnaces and six stretchers to meet customers' needs and requests. The annual production capacity of a extrusion facilities is 25,000Ton.AK acquired the certificates of ISO9001, ISO14001, AS9100, IATF16949, NADCAP-UT and completed the QPL Registration for Aluminum Extrusions of Aerospace Grade by Partner Approval of Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd.With the computerized system of the facility, the numbered data are as follow: average grain size 20 ~ 45(µm), Hydrogen below 0.11cc/100gr Al, Alkali Salt below 1ppm and has a capability to satisfy the Class A, AA and AAA of Ultrasonic Quality.AK’s nation-wide customers indicated their utmost satisfaction for the in-time, and now, we are targeting wider customer groups with world-wide partners. We exported our products in Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Japan and other countries, and many of potential customers have toured our facilities to work with us for mutual success
